Dental implant restorations stand at the forefront of modern dentistry, offering a durable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. By replicating the root and crown of a natural tooth, dental implants provide a stable and long-lasting foundation for restored teeth. Our dentist and team is adept at implementing these advanced restorative techniques, ensuring that each implant not only enhances your smile’s appearance but also contributes to its overall health and functionality.
Understanding Dental Implant Restorations
Dental implant restorations involve placing an artificial root (implant) into the jawbone, followed by attaching a custom-made crown or bridge. This process is ideal for:
- Replacing one or more missing teeth
- Preserving jawbone and preventing bone loss
- Providing a stable base for crowns, bridges or dentures
- Improving chewing, speech and digestion
The Dental Implant Restoration Process
We provide comprehensive care throughout the dental implant process:
- Initial Consultation and Planning: We assess your oral health and jawbone structure to determine the suitability for implants.
- Implant Placement: The implant, made of biocompatible materials like titanium, is surgically placed into the jawbone.
- Healing and Integration: The implant fuses with the bone in a process known as osseointegration.
- Abutment and Crown Placement: Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and then the custom crown, bridge or denture is fitted.
